A Woman,s Portrait,

Blessing she is; God made her so,
And deeds Of weekday holiness
ran from her noise.ess as the snow,
For has she ever CHANGED to know
That aught were easier than to bless
She is mcst fair, ard thereunto
her life doth rightly harmonic.
Feeling or thought that was not true
Ne'er made less beautiful the blue,
unclouded heaven o. her eyes.
She is a woman, one in whom
The spring time Of her childish years
Hath never lost its fresh perfume.
Though knowing vel that life hath room
For many blights an1 many tears.

A Conscientious Surgeon.

A remarkable suicide has recently
been committed in st. Petersburg. A
short time ago a woman, aged 23,
came to consult DR.. Botkine, who
found that she was suffering from q
tuberculous ulcer. An operation be-
ing deemed necessary, DR.. Botkine sent
her to NJ. Kolominne, surgeon ofcon-
siderable repute. He administered to
her slight dose of saline acid OF CO.
caine, and, finding this did not take
effect, he increased the dose and per-
formed the operation with complete
success, but few hours afterward
he received message to say
that his patient seemed to be
dying, and he found, upon
hurrying to her, that, judging by the
feebleness OF the pulse and blush APP
pearance OF the face, she was suffering
from the effects OF poison. All the ef-
forts maze to save her were DINO effect,
and she died the same evening. Nj.
Kolominne was so overcome that he
denounced himself as her murderer,
though all his colleagues assured him
that he was in no way to blame. But
he would not listen to them, and n few
days afterward he blew his brains out,
leaving note in which he said: al must
have been the victim OF some tempo

A New Sort of Swindlc.

Two English adventures have
been arrested in Paris, charged with
an original form OF swindling. The
prisoners give the names OF Mrs. Lnsay
aud Miss Evelyne Rappy. The latter

years OF age. Mrs. Linsay is older,
not so comely and easily passed rs
Miss Rappys mother or guardian, as
occasion required. The women caused
to be published in responsible papers
genteely written and cleverly con-
structed advertisements making it
known that young widow with a
million sterling in her own right, or n
rich young girl, who had made q false
step,was DESTROYS OF forming alliance
with gentleman OF the right stamp
who would appreciate the situation
and who has means sufficient to war.
rant that on his side the marriage was
not entirely speculation. Several
Frenchmen were in turn introduced
to Evelyne Rappy as q result OF these
advertisements, and she was put forth
as the young widow, or the rich
young girl, according to the inclination
OF the sutton. She engaged herself to
a number OF these, managing to keep
alive their ardor until she had
exhausted their ability to make pres
ents, and successfully married several
OF the more wealthy, securing the best
settlement possible and managing to
escape with all the wedding presents
and other personal property obtaina-
bic within few hours after the cere-
mony. 1t has transpired that Miss
Rappy played this marriage trick with
great financial success on more than
one adventurer in England before she
sought her new victims IN France, and
it is said that all OF her numerous
dupes in both countries have been OF
such high social or political position
that they have been ashamed to seek
redress of any kind. When Miss Rap
ply was taken into custody she was at
a iirst-class hotel, living in a grand
suite of rooms in style befitting a
princess, and was on tho point OF be-
ing married to n man who had already
paid right royalty for the betrothal,
and had invested n snug fortune in
wedding presents. When Miss Rappy
realized that she was prisoner she
broke down and made a complete
confession, giving the details OF all her
exploits, with mention OF dates, sums
and names. She throws all the blame
for her conduct upon Mrs. Linsay,
who she says completely controlled
her.

ger at Fort Kcogh, Montana-a tall,
broad.chested Cornish miner, who
had often announced his intention OF
killing Sullivan If he ever met him in
the squared ring. The miners oppor-
tunity came few days ago. He had
been oiled and rubbed down and
sweated until the local sports thought
him in splendid trim. On the night
the Sheedy combination arrived at
Keogh. Sullivan was told that the
Cornish miner had been eating raw
beef all that day and was ready to
put the gloves on with him as soon
as the show began. The miner was
in the hall when the curtain rolled up
and so were his friends. After witness
ing several friendly bouts between the
lesser lights OF the combination Sheedy
was informed that the Cornish pugil-
list was awaiting his turn.
"Who does he want to ight?" ask
ed the manager of the troupe. "Sulli-
van, OF course" yelled half dozen
men in chorus.
"Well, send hun up here" shouted
Sheedy, with broad grin.
The miner loped up the aisle and
clambered upon the stage. He wore
red flannel shirt, cotton drawers
and pair OF Sioux moccasins. Sui
Ivan came out of the wings a mo-
ment later. and then the two men
shook hands in a perfunctory way
and took their positions. The miner
struck out with his right, but failed
to hit anything. Then he used his
left with no better success, and finally
launched both fists at his adversary.
Sullivan let the Cornish man have
his own way for two rounds, but in
the third round the champion raped
the red undershirt until its owners
eyes bulged out like hickory nuts.
The miner struggled on, however, I'M

and then he fell over, sound asleep.

he rolled upon his side, and, looking
